WiSe 18/19: The Russian Worlds of Islam
Timothy Nunan
Kommentar
Today’s Russian Federation has a larger Muslim population than any country in Europe or the United States, and in spite of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia still directly rules over Muslim-majority regions like Chechnya, Dagestan, and Tatarstan. However, the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union remain rather peripheral to historical discussions of Islam and empires, as well as to discussions of multiculturalism or secularism. This seminar explores the Russian worlds of Islam, beginning in the context of the Orthodox Romanov autocracy and ending shortly after the collapse of the officially atheist Marxist-Leninist Soviet Union. Focusing on developments inside Russia’s borders, we will compare Russia’s encounters with Islam to those of other polities. We will also work closely with newly available and translated editions of Russian and Soviet archival documents, honing our interpretative skills as historians. Students will thus emerge from the course with concrete skills that they can apply to the study of states’ and empires’ relations with Islam and religion more broadly. They will also be prepared to view Russia as a generative setting for theories about Islam in the modern world. Schließen
